Currently there is no way of querying whether a filter is
offloaded to HW or not when using "both" policy (where none
of skip_sw or skip_hw flags are set by user-space).
Added two new flags, "in hw" and "not in hw" such that user space
can determine if a filter is actually offloaded to hw. The "in hw"
UAPI semantics was chosen so it's similar to the "skip hw" flag logic.
If none of these two flags are set, this signals running
over older kernel.
As an example, add one vlan push + fwd rule, one matchall rule and one u32 rule
without any flags, and another vlan + fwd skip_sw rule, such that the different
TC
classifier attempt to offload all of them -- all over mlx5 SRIOV VF rep:
# tc filter add dev eth2_0 protocol ip parent ffff:
flower skip_sw indev eth2_0 src_mac e4:11:22:33:44:50 dst_mac
e4:1d:2d:a5:f3:9d
action vlan push id 52 action mirred egress redirect dev eth2
# tc filter add dev eth2_0 protocol ip parent ffff:
flower indev eth2_0 src_mac e4:11:22:33:44:50 dst_mac e4:11:22:33:44:51
action vlan push id 53 action mirred egress redirect dev eth2
# tc filter add dev eth2_0 parent ffff: matchall action mirred egress mirror
dev veth1
# tc filter add dev eth2_0 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 99 handle 800:0:1
u32 ht 800: flowid 800:1 match ip src 192.168.1.0/24 action drop
Since that VF rep doesn't offload matchall/u32 and can currently offload
only one vlan push rule we expect three of the rules not to be offloaded:
# tc filter show dev eth2_0 parent ffff:
filter protocol ip pref 99 u32
filter protocol ip pref 99 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1
filter protocol ip pref 99 u32 fh 800::1 order 1 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 800:1

v2 --> v3 changes:
- fixed the matchall dump flags patch to do proper checks (Jakub)
- added the same proper checks to flower where they were missing
- that flower patch was added as #1 and hence all the other patches are
offed-by-one
v1 --> v2 changes:
- applied feedback from Jakub and Dave -- where none of the skip flags were
set,
the suggested approach didn't allow user space to distringuish between old
kernel
to a case when offloading to HW worked fine.
